These drop biscuits probably aren’t what you grew up eating (especially if you mainly ate canned biscuits like me), but they can satisfy a craving for bread. Enjoy them with soup or for breakfast in an egg sandwich or grain-free Eggs Benedict.

What makes these biscuits different?

These biscuits are too good to be true. HONESTLY! I no longer miss traditional buttermilk biscuits made with wheat flour. Almond flour is the leading player, but Cheddar cheese puts these on my A-list.

Greek yogurt keeps them tender and flaky. Since I make my own Greek yogurt, I try adding it to recipes whenever possible.


How to portion drop biscuits:

Because it’s easiest to portion these out with an ice cream scoop, they are similar to drop biscuits. If you wet your fingers, you can tap them down just a little to make a smooth top so they will cook more evenly. But don’t smash them too much.

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups almond flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons chilled butter - cut into small pieces
  • ⅓ to ½ cup unflavored Greek yogurt - very thick and cold
  • 2 large eggs - beaten
  • ¾ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350˚F.
  • Stir first four ingredients together in medium bowl.
  • Add butter and cut into almond flour mixture until it resembles coarse oatmeal.
  • Combine eggs and smaller amount of yogurt in a separate bowl before adding to dry mixture. Add shredded Cheddar cheese and stir until all flour is lightly moistened. If dough seems dry, add slightly more yogurt.
  • Use an ice cream scoop or two spoons to dip biscuit dough onto a greased cookie sheet. With damp fingers, lightly tamp each biscuit to give it a flat top but don’t flatten.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  • Biscuits are somewhat fragile when warm, so give them time to cool.
  • These freeze well. Split in half and toast the cut half to make a delicious breakfast sandwich.

    I made these this morning. They are a little crumbley but very tasty.

    1. Hi Dina,
      Thank you for the 5-star rating.

      One thing you might try is shredding the butter. I find biscuits made with almond flour tend to be crumbly because there is no gluten to hold it all together. The cheese helps.

    This is the best recipe I have come across for gluten free, low carb biscuits. I live the cheddar cheese flavor; it smells so good when I repeat them in the toaster. I have modified the recipe to make a blueberry scone. I use mozzarella cheese, stevia and blueberries. I have also made cinnamon chip.
    Thank you for sharing.

    1. Hi Allison,
      Your variations sound delicious. I agree with you about the toaster. Thanks for sharing.
